Do Brand Name Clothing Companies use DTG?
Is
DTG printing used in the "Brand Name" fashion world or is it more common amongst smaller merchants? In other words, are there companies like Tommy Hillfiger using
DTG printers? And if so, do you know the names of these clothing companies and which
DTG machines they are using?

Re: Do Brand Name Clothing Companies use DTG? Most of the major companies use screen print because they are bying volume and screen printing we can get up to 900 pieces per hour.

Re: Do Brand Name Clothing Companies use DTG? I personally don't think
DTG prints and white ink are suitable for 'premium' retail sales at the moment.

Re: Do Brand Name Clothing Companies use DTG? Thanks guys. It seems, at the moment silk screening provides the clothing with a better finish. Long lasting and better quality.

Re: Do Brand Name Clothing Companies use DTG? It depends, but the majority screen print. But I have seen some major brands like Ecko print
DTG shirts once in awhile.

Re: Do Brand Name Clothing Companies use DTG? There are a lot of "fashion" garments that are made from direct to fabric printed material. Rol to roll printing allows for high color, non-standard placement prints without the need for white ink. I was at ITMA in Singapore over 4 years ago and roll to roll was already huge at that time. The combo ofdirect to garment and direct to fabric are making an impact on the screen printing world.

Re: Do Brand Name Clothing Companies use DTG? I am pretty sure, that high end clothing makers use sometimes, i know I read something about it somewhere
They tend to do less quan. and sell garments for 6 times more, They used kornit machines I believe, anyways
DTG is more of a luxury item than screnprinting
